Fytton Rowland, The Royal Society of New Zealand's journals: how can they cope with the changing serials environment?Serials, March 2004. Only this abstract is free online: "This paper reports a consultancy project undertaken in September 2003 for the New Zealand Government, which studied the government-subsidized journal publishing operations of the Royal Society of New Zealand (RSNZ) and made recommendations for changes that the RSNZ might make to improve the effectiveness of this operation. As well as minor operational improvements, the report also recommended consideration of larger changes, including open access, use of aggregators, and a change of the printed versions from quarterlies to annual archival editions."

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
